So DeepSeek launched their R1 model which they claim is on par with OpenAI-O1. ↵

↵
This is a big update for CP as the model is open sourced and the chat can be accessed for free. As for the R1 model itself, I think its great particularly the chain of thought feels like that of a human.↵
↵
I tested it out on 6 different problems in total, 3 problems of 1700 rating, 1 problem of 1800, 1 of 1900 and one unrated problem from recent contest (Div. 2 — 996).↵
↵
This is what happened:↵
↵
↵
- [Problem 1](https://codeforces.me/problemset/problem/1550/C) — It managed to solve this in the first attempt.↵
- [Problem 2](https://codeforces.me/problemset/problem/1478/C) — Again managed to solve in the first attempt.↵
- [Problem 3](https://codeforces.me/problemset/problem/1625/C) — For this problem, it took an extra prompt.↵
↵
- [Problem 4](https://codeforces.me/contest/2055/problem/D) — Unable to solve after 5 attempts.↵
- [Problem 5](https://codeforces.me/problemset/problem/2043/D) — Unable to solve after 4 attempts.↵
- [Problem 6](https://codeforces.me/problemset/problem/2053/E) — Unable to solve after 4 attempts.↵

Was curious to know your thoughts on this model, is this something that contests would be affected by in the near future?
